{give-away | olivia von halle silk pyjamas for midsummer nights}

. . . and while on the topic of beautiful spring nights . . . perfectly delighted to announce that this week's give-away is from london-based olivia von halle, maker of impossibly chic silk pyjama sets inspired by the ones worn by coco chanel in the 1920's; perfect for lounging on the terrace with coffee and croissants on a languid sunday morning, or for extravagantly late nights . . .

{lookbook: sessùn automne-hiver 2011}

. . . and while it may still be a little early for chunky knits -- it is, after all, a brilliantly sunny september day -- there have, already, been a few cashmere mornings, and a few trench coat evenings, around and about, as the light begins to fade; and today, plans are beginning to fall into place for the moment, for next week, for the future . . .
